The Wolf Who Shouldn’t Love Chapter 22
The Abduction***The morning broke with a pale, washed-out light that did nothing to ease the tension suffocating the Dominion. Smoke still lingered from the recent village fires, curling through the air like accusing fingers. Aella stood at the balcony of the east tower, her hands gripping the cold stone as she surveyed the lands below.Every inch of her felt too tight, too full. Ever since the attack, her power had throbbed beneath her skin like a pulse separate from her own heartbeat. She could sense emotions she shouldn’t be able to sense, hear whispers carried from impossible distances, feel the tremors of fear echoing from those who lived under the Dominion’s protection.It overwhelmed her.But she hid it.She hid everything.Because Thalen was watching her again.He stood in the shadowed archway behind her, arms crossed over his chest. His dark hair was tousled from lack of sleep, and the faint bruise along his jaw earned when a collapsing beam during the fires struck him only

The Shadows Inside The Dominion***The Dominion had always been a machine unyielding, reinforced by ritual, tradition, and fear. But that machine had begun to groan, gears grinding as tension spread through the corridors like smoke. After the coordinated village attacks in the previous days, paranoia shimmered through the palace walls. Every whispered conversation felt like a threat waiting to surface.Aella felt it the moment she stepped into the war hall.The atmosphere was dense, thick enough to scrape her lungs raw. Wooden tables overflowed with maps, coded messages, scouting reports more than she had ever seen collected in one place. Sentinels pacing. Advisors barking clipped orders. Thalen standing at the far end like a carved statue of cold wrath.But it wasn’t the chaos that chilled Aella.It was the eyes.Watching her.Measuring her.Judging her.Some filled with fear.Some with resentment.Some… with something darker.Her magic stirred, sensing tension before her mind fully

The Fire That Awakened Her ••• The first scream reached the camp like a jagged slash through the night. Aella heard it before anyone else. She was standing near the boundary markers, scanning the forest for movement, forcing herself to pretend her heartbeat wasn’t reacting to Thalen’s confession from the night before. The trees were silent. The air was still. The moon hung pale and round above the canopy. And then… a single scream tore through the stillness. Aella’s head snapped up. Her fingers tightened around the hilt of her blade. Another scream followed. Then another. Not animal. Not rogue wolves. Human. Terrified. Burning. Before she could call for anyone, a burst of orange flared in the distance the unmistakable flicker of fire. A village was burning. Aella’s stomach dropped. She didn’t think— she ran. Leaves whipped past her face as she sprinted between the trees. Her breaths came hard and fast as the air began to smell of smoke. Bright sparks drifted upward like fi

The Things He Tried Not to Feel ••• The sky over the Ironwood Peaks had not yet decided whether it wanted to remain night or surrender to dawn. A dim, silver haze clung to the treetops, softening their jagged silhouettes as if the world itself was holding its breath. Somewhere in the distance, faint howls echoed— wolves on early patrol, restless, unsettled, sensing the tension lingering in the wind. Aella walked alone along the forest ridge, her steps slow, almost hesitant. The chill of the morning brushed her arms, but it wasn’t the cold that made her shiver. It was the weight of everything left unsaid between her and Thalen. The events from the last mission clung to her like dew on her lashes— his arm catching her as she fell, the desperate look in his eyes when he thought he’d lost her, the way his breathing had hitched when she whispered that she was fine. And that moment afterward… when they stood far too close, her hand accidentally brushing his chest, his scent deep in her

Fires in the Heartwood ••• The Dominion had settled into an uneasy silence after the recent clashes, but Aella knew better than to trust the calm. The forest was alive, every leaf and root humming with tension, whispering warnings that only she could hear. The Heartwood’s pulse resonated with her own, a rhythmic thrum of life, danger, and desire. She moved through the central clearing, robes brushing against moss-streaked roots, silver energy glowing faintly around her hands as she drew from the forest’s lifeblood. Each step was precise, measured yet her pulse raced faster than any march of battle. Thalen was already ahead, his Alpha presence radiating command as he surveyed the perimeter. Golden eyes glinted with vigilance, muscles coiled like a predator ready to strike. But beneath that controlled exterior, there was something else— heat, hunger, an unspoken need that lingered between them, raw and impossible to deny. “Aella,” Thalen’s voice cut through the morning mist, low and

The Edge of Shadows ••• The first light of dawn filtered through the dense canopy of the Dominion, painting the forest in muted golds and greens. Mist lingered over the undergrowth, curling around tree trunks like living smoke, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and the faint tang of magic still lingering from the previous night’s battle. The Dominion had survived, but the peace was brittle, like the thin veneer of ice over a rushing stream. Aella moved silently among the trees, her bare feet brushing against moss and fallen leaves making her feet feel cold yet somehow home. Her palms glowed faintly with silver light, the Heartwood’s pulse echoing in her chest like a second heartbeat. She had spent the night in restless vigilance, eyes closed, attuned to the subtle tremors of the forest, listening for signs of movement— both friend and foe. Even in the calm, she could feel it the Dominion’s enemies were regrouping. Their treachery had not ended with the Red Fang’s initial ass
